Subject: RE: Who wrote the tune to Crazy Man Michael?
Meanwhile - Vic - what was the traditional tune RT had in mind?
I'm afraid that did not come up in the interview
Incidentally our thoughts were that Swarbrick could have picked up the tune on one of his visits to Oz.
CMM appeared in Leige & Leif in 1969 and was not brand new then.... when did Swarb first go to Australia? Not in the 1960s, I would have thought.
